Treatment of local soft-tissue sarcoma

Localized soft-tissue sarcoma is an individual tumor that has not metastasized in an observable manner. We aim to treat localized soft-tissue sarcoma curatively.

Surgical treatment of local soft-tissue sarcoma

The primary treatment for soft-tissue sarcoma is surgery. In surgery, our aim is to remove the tumor whole so that a sufficiently large border of healthy tissue, i.e. a margin, remains around it. If the tumor is large, we correct the tissue deficiency caused during surgery by placing a tissue graft. We can take a muscle flap suitable as a graft from another part of your body.

Radiation therapy for local soft-tissue sarcoma

We supplement the surgery with radiation therapy if a sufficiently large healthy tissue margin cannot be obtained around the tumor. We can administer radiation therapy either before or after surgery.

Chemotherapy for local soft-tissue sarcoma

If the soft-tissue sarcoma is aggressive in nature and has +a high degree of malignancy, you may also be given chemotherapy. Treatment is aimed at reducing the risk of cancer recurrence. If necessary, you can receive combined radiation therapy and chemotherapy, so-called chemoradiotherapy.
